...lol, Retro... nice job. You managed to top the posts bashing rap. I don't know whether to say you topped them in ignorance, closed-mindedness, or just being opinionated, but you topped them XD

As far as I'm concerned rap can go to hell

but as far as actual preferences are concerned I don't even know where I fall, coz I like a number of different singles from artists that as a rule I don't really like, but the artists I like are Metallica (but who doesn't?) Iron Maiden, Breaking Benjamin, Dragonforce and The All American Rejects, so I really don't know how to classify myself >_>

Welp, everyone seems to be listing off some artists and going into more depth, so why not.

@Cloud: I also very much enjoy Blink-182, Motion City Soundtrack, Deathcab for Cutie, and Postal Service :). MCS was a huge favorite of mine a couple years ago, and Blink-182 always brings back good memories for me.

The rest, I suppose I'll post by "genre:"

Indie/Indie Rock: Silversun Pickups, Stars, Kashmir, Doves, Islands, The Unicorns, The Killers (mostly just Sam's Town), The Album Leaf, Bright Eyes (not too much anymore), Mates of State, Kings of Convenience (not too much anymore), The Faint, Muse is alright, Ad Astra Per Aspera, Bloc Party, Broken Social Scene, mewithoutYou, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Jealous Sound/Knapsack

All Japanese: The Pillows (Rock), FACT (Metal/Hardcore), Shugo Tokumaru (Ambient/Indie), Motoro Faam (Ambient), Ryuichi Sakamoto. Pretty much like all of them equally, and generally more than most other bands.

Metal: Children of Bodom, Blind Guardian, Heavy Heavy Low Low, The Mars Volta, The Chariot, Auditory Aphasia, Foxy Shazam (xD), Showbread (not much anymore), Knights of the Abyss.

Punk & Other Rock Variations: Thrice, Operatic, AFI (older), Ryan Adams (the most country-esque thing I listen to), The Goo-Goo Dolls (on occasion), Tokyo Smash, A Perfect Circle. Linkin Park, From Autumn to Ashes, Chiodos, The Used, Letter Kills, Incubus, and Interpol are nostalgic, but I don't listen to them anymore.

Other Ambient/Electronica & Etc.: Sigur Ros, Thom Yorke, Royksopp, Patrick Cohen, Milosh; Miles Davis, Gorillaz, Erlend Oye, The Cure, Andrew Bird, An Albatross.

...

Augghhh soo many. That was probably pointless to type up, but generally speaking, I most enjoy Indie Rock, Metal/Hardcore, Electronica/Techno & Synthesized in general, and Ambient music. VG music and VG remixes have been a big part of my playlist recently, as well.

That's some good rap, Tim. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

@Syntax: That's all rock/metal or punk. So there you go.

...lol, Retro... nice job. You managed to top the posts bashing rap.

I honestly hate it so much. No, it isn't for the fact that 90% of the songs are just shitty lyrics with a repetitive background, but the other 10% good lyrics and no good music.

Rap is poetry. When I want poetry, I read a book. When I want music, I expect an awesome, dramatic buildup of win and a good melody. Rap does not have buildups.

And I honestly disagree.. I think you're finding the wrong stuff to listen to, same with rap. Yes, SHITTY rap has no buildup, and sounds like a bunch of repetitive lyrics and synthesizer and crap vomited out of the speakers.
So this is how I shall sum that up: you're listening to 100% crap, 90% shitty lyrics over a repetitive background and 10% good lyrics with also crappy background, and missing the good stuff entirely.
Time to Waste
You might still classify the lyrics as "shitty" (they're not overly profound, I doubt they'll get much of a response from you), but there's a chance you'll at least admit the music is good, which would at a whole new category to your previous generalization. =D

Rock on, Saber XD
Bright Eyes, though.. the singers voice really bugs me. Kind of like if someone took the "wobbling sheet metal" noise and threw in a bunch of reverb. Too shaky for me.
I forgot to mention Goo Goo Dolls, All American Rejects, and Linkin Park... although Goo Goo Dolls is the only one on that list I could say is a "favorite." Linkin Park lost my attention a long time ago, there's much more awesome music out there with a less generic sound... and bands who don't release the same songs over and over. There's always a pattern to their albums (and by pattern, I mean two albums)... I believe it was song 6 on Meteora and another one of their older albums that sounded like they tried to do something techno, and then there's always the song that starts with quiet guitar and then explodes. However, I still do and always will like the song that starts with the grainy recording and the drums, although it follows there "quiet then BOOM" formula.
All American Rejects.. eh. I think I listened to them too much or something, I just got uninterested soon after I started listening to them <_< Top of the world is a cool song, though.

Edit: Fuckdammit, I just realized Retro's post could've (and probably did) meant that rap is 90% shitty lyrics with a repetitive background and 10% good lyrics with shitty background. I still stand by what I said about finding the wrong music, but.. blegh. My argument way ^^^^^^^^^^ up there just lost half its reasons to exist D=

Edit 2: Also, neither Breaking Benjamin nor the All American Rejects are metal, really <_< But all the things Syntax listed are definitely in the rock/metal group..

Cool, cool. Yeah, I actually liked the AAR at one point in time, but got sick of them pretty quickly.

Bright Eyes I don't like so much anymore, but at the time I suppose a more sophisticated representation of my thoughts on his voice would have been "they are the vocal/audible embodiment of the mental and emotional desperation I sometimes feel." Now the whole sound is just linked to bad memories, and his latest stuff hasn't been as good anyways, so no more of that :P.

Grainy recording, then drums... "Somewhere I Belong," maybe? Anyways, yeah, Linkin Park, as I said, is something I don't listen to so much anymore. I might for nostalgic reasons, but for those reasons alone. I'd agree that it was fairly generic. Have you heard anything off their latest album - "Minutes to Midnight," I think it's called? I believe they made a few unusual change-ups in that album. They released it so far after their first though that I was no longer so much of a fan, and pretty much lost interest :P. Listened to all of the album maybe one time around, and was done.

Yeah, I've heard two of the songs. I liked the alterations, a slow song from them is a nice change (although all the big fans are pissed, lol. "SLOW SONGS AREN'T LINKIN PARK GRAAARGH!!" At least we can say they didn't sell out to their fans XD)
The other song... was another song that sounds the same as all their other stuff. They did a considerably good job sounding like they always do, but... it still sounded like a song I've heard a hundred times <_<

The beginning was so beautiful... only to shatter my hopes with a loud, burst of drums. I am crying.

Also, that's metal, not rap. O_O

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPfljaeJ26U <-- my latest favorite song

And Legion of Boom is my latest favorite album, but it looks like a lot of Crystal Method was attacked by copyright holders or some shit? I find it hard to believe no one's bothered to upload some of their stuff.
Actually this song (off that album) might be my new favorite song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RthnTZ4i7Bw

I was gonna post this in the techno topic but I'm not sure if the first one qualifies.

This kid listens to Death Metal. YOu know, the kind of music where you have to look up the lyrics just to understand them? As I Lay Dying, Underoath, All That Remains the good stuff. I'm not a fan of rap, but thats your choice to listen to crap. Music is like candy. You have to get rid of the rappers.
